Make ordering easy

STORE ESSENTIAL MANUFACTURER AND VENDOR DATA

Alliance™ Inventory can track all the information you need to make ordering easy. Record both manufacturer number and vendor number for each item. If an item can’t be ordered from your primary vendor, you can store up to four alternate vendors along with their unique vendor numbers and prices.

Use our convenient reports to make ordering even easier. A price list will provide information about the costs of selected items, while a purchasing advisory report will provide recommendations for items to purchase based on current levels and your specified reordering levels. You can even track information about the sale of items from your inventory.

More Features

Quick inventory access

Like all of our applications, Alliance™ Inventory is highly customizable. Use the settings to configure Inventory to your organization’s setup: you can track multiple warehouses or other storage locations and even record more specific locations, such as rows, shelving units, shelves, and/or bins, to accurately manage storage of materials, supplies, and parts for your utility or municipal operation.

In addition, our convenient barcode feature can be used to both print barcodes for your items as well as automatically look up items by scanning the barcode for easy processing.

Inventory’s reports provide a complete picture of your inventory’s status. Use a variety of options to obtain exactly the information that you are looking for. Get a list of all your items, see amounts of items available, view items sold, see price information, get information about the value of your inventory, and review activity over time. You can also generate worksheets to assist with getting a physical count of your inventory.
